For those who wish to know the health consequences of the Fukushima catastrophe,

the answers are to be found within this volume and in the radiation risk model of the

ECRR. The data presented at the 2009 Lesvos conference of the European

Committee on Radiation Risk show the real world effects of living in areas

contaminated with the dispersed contents of an exploded nuclear reactor. Twenty

five years of studies of people living on the Chernobyl contaminated territories has

been enough to quantify in detail the cancers, the heart disease, the loss of lifespan,

the congenital illnesses, even the changes in sex ratio, in childhood intelligence and

in mental health that follow the exposures to radioactive contamination from fission

products, activation products and uranium fuel particles.
